I always try to stay in a hotel in New Orleans that's either in the French Quarter or has a pool. If it's both...fantastic! If you’re celebrating your honeymoon in New Orleans, I’ve found some dreamy stays where outdoor pools add just the right splash of relaxation to your romantic adventure in the Crescent City. Trust me, a poolside break after a day of exploring is the perfect way to unwind together.

Highlights:

  • I’ve loved staying at luxury hotels in the French Quarter with peaceful courtyard pools—hidden gems you’d never expect right in the heart of it all.
  • Historic mansions turned boutique inns have given me tropical pool settings that feel like a private oasis—romantic and full of charm.
  • If you’re looking for something extra special, I’ve found Garden District B&Bs with private plunge pools that made it feel like our own retreat.
  • Rooftop pools with skyline views? Absolutely worth it. Watching the sunset together from the water was one of my favorite NOLA moments.
  • And those quiet patios with cabanas and cocktails—perfect for a lazy afternoon where you both get to slow down and soak it all in.
